A 9-year-old child with type 1 diabetes is prone to having hypoglycemic episodes in the morning. Which intervention would be included in the school nurse's plan of care for this child?

Option A ("Considering the presence of diabetes but treating the child the same as the other children") is not the best approach because children with diabetes require individualized care and monitoring.

Option B ("Limiting fluid intake during school hours") is not an appropriate intervention and could potentially worsen the child's diabetes management. Hydration is important, and fluid intake should be based on the child's needs.

Option C. Asking the child each day what was eaten for breakfast.

Children with type 1 diabetes, especially those prone to morning hypoglycemic episodes, can benefit from close monitoring of their dietary choices and blood glucose levels. Asking the child what was eaten for breakfast allows the school nurse to assess whether the child had an appropriate meal and whether the insulin dosage may need adjustment. It helps identify potential factors contributing to hypoglycemia and provides valuable information for the child's diabetes management.

Option D ("Checking several times a day for injuries because of participation in the physical education program") is a good practice but does not specifically address the management of morning hypoglycemia. It is essential to monitor the child's safety during physical activities, but addressing breakfast choices and insulin management is more directly related to managing morning hypoglycemia.
